When it was announced that "Bholaa" would be a Bollywood remake of the critically acclaimed Tamil film "Kaithi" (2019), expectations were naturally high. Unfortunately, "Bholaa" falls drastically short of its predecessor, offering a disappointing experience that neither captures the essence of the original nor delivers a fresh take on the storyline.
Despite a bigger budget, "Bholaa" looks cheap. The special effects are bad, and the set designs are unimaginative. "Bholaa" is a classic example of how not to handle a remake. It lacks the soul, intensity, and craftsmanship of "Kaithi," resulting in a bland and forgettable cinematic experience. Fans of the original will be sorely disappointed, and newcomers will wonder what all the fuss was about. This is one Bollywood remake that should have stayed on the drawing board.
